Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is currently the most frequent cause of rotational vertigo. Due to the complexity of the posterior labyrinth, the clinical findings of the patient, with nystagmus being the most significant, can mislead the physician.
The aim of this book is to guide the treating physician in their effort to identify the correct side of the lesion and perform the appropriate therapeutic maneuver.
Fundamental knowledge and all the latest data on this condition are systematically provided in a practical guide intended for physicians of all specialties who may be involved in the clinical investigation of dizziness or vertiginous syndromes.
The detailed description of each form of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, as well as all the tests and maneuvers, is accompanied by illustrative material (diagrams, sketches, and photographs) in a way that facilitates not only the physician but also the patient themselves.
The clinical signs of the lesion in each semicircular canal are presented with images, combined with the corresponding pathophysiology and therapeutic approach.
George Psychas is a full professor of Otolaryngology-Neurotology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
